I'd been tested in a hospital for acid reflux after all heart tests proved negative. I would wake up in the middle of the night and it felt like my chest was being crushed. It was determined after the extensive exam that the flap going into my stomach was damaged, but that nothing cold be done. A year later I bumped into a family friend who was a holistic doctor. I explained the symptoms, etc. He asked me if I drank coffee and how much. He said to try not drinking coffee for a week and see what happened. The reflux stopped immediately and never returned until I started drinking it again. He explained that caffeine makes the flap relax, it's as simple as that. However, on rare occasion, after drinking coffee or cola, I'd get some reflux. So I had read about apple cider vinegar in a natural cure book and told my wife I was going to try it the at the next occurrence. Sure enough, after falling off the coffee wagon one weekend, I got some severe heartburn. I took a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, which made no sense whatsoever, held my nose, and down it went, burning all the way. What happened next was truly amazing as the pain instantly vanished and the reflux never surfaced again and since then I have only had to use it once again. That was two years ago.
